NEW YORK – October 25, 2017 – IFC announced today that it has acquired Season 3 of the all-female, sketch comedy series Baroness von Sketch Show.

“Carolyn, Meredith, Aurora and Jennifer have a devotion to red wine, dry shampoo and smart, relevant comedy that made us fall in love with their show the minute we saw it,” said IFC President Jennifer Caserta. “The ladies have set a high bar as the first and only all-female sketch comedy troupe that also writes, produces and stars in their own show, so we are especially proud to bring their third season to the IFC audience which has clearly demonstrated they want more!”

The series is produced by Frantic Films and originates on the CBC in Canada. It is distributed internationally by Banijay Rights. Season 3 will air on the CBC in 2018.”

I am a huge fan and cannot get the word out fast enough to all my friends. I was smitten with the creative genius of the show from the first moments I watched. Thanks to my husband’s never ending curiosity to try new things, we have now spent many happy hours laughing until our sides are splitting. We have watched all 13 episodes and are now rewatching episodes. Thank you!
